President Johannes Lampe says it was important for Justin Trudeau to see the community’s situation

Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe says housing and food security remained priority talking points during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to northern Labrador on Friday.

Trudeau, along with five federal cabinet ministers, made the trip to Nain for an annual meeting of the Inuit-Crown partnership committee.

“Nunatsivaut government and Labrador Inuit are involved in looking at how we can work together as partners,” Lampe told CBC News.

“It’s very important for Labrador Inuit, too, like other Canadians, to meet the prime minister and for the prime minister of Canada himself to come and see our situation here in Nain, to look at the infrastructure we have and the infrastructure gaps we have.”
